Safety Engineering
SHPHERD RISK offers engineering design solutions and assessment studies for onshore facilities, we aim to assist our clients throughout the project lifecycle by providing cost-effective services to minimize the possible impact of changes on design during the early stage of the project.
SHEPHERD RISK is a specialist provider of the following safety studies to identify process or non-process hazards, analyze their effects and assess the risks associated with the facilities or operations during normal operations or simultaneous operations (SIMOPS):
- Fire and Explosion Hazards Analysis (FERA/FEA/FRA/FEDHA)
- Consequence Modeling - Dispersion Studies
- Escape, Evacuation and Rescue Analysis (EERA)
- Blast and Overpressure Analysis
- Building/Plant/Layout Review and Optimization
- Hazardous Area Classification
- Fire Safety Design
- ESD & Depressurization System Design
- Relief, Blowdown & Flare Studies
-
Workshop Facilitation
Technical review workshops are necessary and in some cases mandatory for all engineering design projects and in some cases following a major incident event.
These multidisciplinary workshops aim to identify issues in concept and design that otherwise have been overlooked and can lead to undesirable consequences. It is important that such review sessions are led by a strong chairperson with working knowledge of the issues and understanding of the review process.
We provide Facilitation/Chairperson services for following workshops
- Hazard Identification (HAZID)
- Hazard and Operability (HAZOP techniques)
- BOWTIE
- Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Assessment/Layer Of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
- 3D Design Reviews
-
Qualitative & Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA)
Qualitative Risk Assessments and Quantitative Risk Assessments are specialized methods for calculating risks to individuals, public (societal risk), the environment and/or assets. In order to demonstrate that project risks are As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and that residual risks meet company and legislative criterion QRA is an essential studyfor all major projects.
SHEPHERD RISK has extensive experience in providing QRAs for normal operations and SIMOPS with other value added analyses to assist our clients in decision making to achieve ALARP within their proposed project CAPEX/OPEX. We effectively:
- Identify process and non-process hazards associated with the facility or operation
- Conduct frequency and consequence analyses
- Conduct risk analysis and risk assessment
- Recommend risk reduction and mitigation measures
We can provide the following comprehensive studies and solutions:
- Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for onshore facilities
- Miscellaneous Risk Assessments (e.g. Occupied Buildings, Transportation, etc.)
- Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Risk Assessment
- Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
- ALARP Assessment
-
